Comments: I'm not quite sure what prompted the wave of recent releases of Elliott Smith's music, which started with the reissue of Roman Candle and From a Basement on the Hill last December. Now we have the closest thing to a "best of" compilation from the late singer/songwriter extraordinaire, and it covers pretty much his entire career, from the early '90s through his untimely death in 2003. An Introduction To... is just that--at 14 songs, it's hardly an anthology, but there are some fine selections here. My favorites include "Ballad of Big Nothing," "Pretty (Ugly Before)" and "Needle in the Hay," but this whole collection is worth your time, especially if you're a newcomer to Smith's music.
